Talking C-Ma$e in the place!

Hey everyone! I'm a noob to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I live in Ventura, and just started a restoration project on my grandpa's old 66 F100 Shortbed V8. Here is a link to the thread:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post10756803

I'm as green as it gets when it comes to working on cars, so I'll be coming here often for guidance. I've already heard some great advice, and everyone has been awesome!

Hopefully i'll be able to connect with some more folks who've gone (or are going) down the same road i am.



~Chris

I'll be out working on her Saturday afternoon, so if you drive by, you'll probably see me in the garage... scratching my head with a dumb look on my face. :-)

Yeah! We have been getting more and more lately.

Mind if I stop by? I'd love to take a look at her.
